Films and Screenshots / Re: Some people rely on alternate facts

My point is that afterword on 200 you acted as if I intentionally rammed you...
It takes some imagination to think that somebody like me who can barely fly a fighter would have the "skill" to intentionally "ram" you.

I have seen others do it so I know it is possible. I've seen a fighter that was out of ammo pull up in front of a bomber and kill it somehow after they said they were out of ammo and going to ram them.

Don't be to hard on Shame. He has quiet an imagination.

The other day he came head on at me twice.
(because he knows how to manipulate the damage model or knows he won't take damage with his latency or whatever it is)
Both times we collided. Both times I took damage, the second time I died from the collision.
He accused ME of ramming HIM while bragging about how I took damage in the collision while he did not...

I'll let you parse these very carefully... you may even learn something about the collision modeling.

The literal coding of FE collisions.

The photo bucket watermark kind of messes with the images but you might be able to make it out for the visual of latency.

Attached below is the film you're referring to. (What occurred can be explained by the two above.) 

Pay attention at 1:25 where I didn't fire, but you both fired and rammed me - you gave me a pw (your shot) and you clipped your engine (your ram) from the collision you saw on your front end; I took no collision damage from a (non-existent) collision because my front end showed me squeaking by - welcome to latency - milliseconds can translate into feet or yards.

At 1:43 same engagement decided to joust with you... we both fired/collided and took damage. I won.

Here's a screenie of the collision messages on my end.



Glad to help.

Not balancing, shaping. Normal way to do it is you reserve bandwidth for important stuff/real time services like gaming or voip, then dynamically allocate the reminder depending on priorities.

If you do the numbers 2Gb is heaps. Remember AH used to (actually probably still does) run off dial up, which was at most 56kbps. If you got generous and said 256kbps per user, reserving for 300 users gives you 75Mbps.

Something is not right, I tested some downloads (skins and game) and get to a peak of around 40Mbps then it drops down to between 16-20Mbps.

I've been flyin AW since the days of GEnie and dos and I'm can't believe how far behind they've fallen. I've been spoiled by the all you can eat pricing and haven't move to WB because I still have memories of $250+ bills on GEnie.  Alot of people are sick of AW but not willing to pay by the hour so I think that there may be a mass exodus from there as long as the cost is flat-rate or reasonable. Can't wait to see it!!  (Image removed from quote.)

This is funny. I found a post I posted in July of 1999, but it says my "join date" is March of 2008.

Things are about to get weird.. like the time I killed all the guns at a base, and somehow was at an advantage with 1 elevator in a f6f 5k below your spit.

I must've been in the tower when you and 2 others remarked on their absence.

Still waiting for you to back up your claims as to what I said and the question of how you ever served your country. 

You should know full well I don't misrepresent or lie.  Just like I know you and your type do - it's a given.

It is a lot but I am getting the hang of it

The level of switchology detail is amazing.  Try not to get too deep in all of that.  Focus on flying and employing.  The schoolhouse for 2nd Lts right out of pilot training was six months long, a month or so of ground school, another in the simulator, and then to the jet.  Very complex and takes a great deal of training.  The schoolhouse for previous fighter guys was about half that length.

Says the guy who said the below: 





And what were my comments?  I'll still stand behind them. The irony of your comment about "freedom" is apparently lost you on. 

Oh right, almost forgot this as I had logged and returned to find you on my ankle. 



I also noticed you and a few others going on about skyrr and judge, talking crap when they're not around.  That says even more about you.  Still waiting to hear what service you provided to our government....

What did I say about the judge or skygirl.. ?
